Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum Mimicking a Thyroid Tumor Kazunori Kageyama Yutaka Watanuki Katsumi Endo Makoto Daimon<p>A 42-year-old woman was referred to us for evaluation of a suspicious mass in her left thyroid gland. She had experienced left anterior neck pain and odynophagia for a few weeks. Ultrasonography (US) demonstrated a heterogenous and hypoechoic mass with bright internal hyperechoic foci and a partial surrounding halo involving the posterior aspect of the left thyroid lobe (Figure 1). Computed tomography (CT) of the neck with contrast enhancement demonstrated a soft tissue mass with internal air between the left back side of the thyroid and esophagus (Figure 2). Barium swallow pharyngoesophagography showed a barium-filled sac protruding from the left anterolateral wall of the cervical esophagus (Figure 3).</p> International Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism - Peertechz Publications 2015-05-24 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/ijcem.000002 en Copyright © Kazunori Kageyama et al.
